Filter by:This retrospective study evaluates 52 cases of avascular necrosis of femoral head (AVN) treated by core decompression, bone chips allograft, fibrin platelet rich-plasma (PRF) and concentrated autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs).
Necrotic primary molars in preschool children will be treated with the regeneration concept to provide a healthy biological environment within the root canal system and regression in clinical signs and symptoms which are the primary outcomes of regeneration treatment.
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the implant fixation of the NANOS™ Neck Preserving Hip Stem (OHST Medizintechnik AG, distributed by Smith & Nephew GmbH, Marl, Germany) by measuring the migration of the implant using the model-based roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (MBRSA).
Breast reconstruction is a common procedure that can dramatically improve the quality of life and satisfaction for women who undergo mastectomy, with over 100,000 procedures performed in the U.S. in 2018. The success of this procedure, however, is limited by its complications, including mastectomy skin flap necrosis, which occurs at a rate a 10-15%. Mastectomy skin flap necrosis causes significant morbidity in patients undergoing breast reconstruction, potentially compromising results and delaying oncologic management. In addition, necrosis can lead to infection, implant loss, and need for reoperation. Current approaches to identify mastectomy skin flap necrosis rely largely on the surgeon's assessment of skin flap color, capillary refill, temperature turgor and dermal bleeding. However, clinical assessment of necrosis is subjective and is not a reliable predictor of postoperative complications. ICG microangiography is an accepted adjunct method to aid in clinical judgment by identifying poor perfusion as a surrogate marker for tissue at risk for necrosis during reconstructive surgical procedures. However, transient alterations in blood flow seen by this method may not represent actual necrosis. Furthermore, the common practice of using vasoconstriction methods to prevent massive blood loss in plastic surgery also alters microperfusion and renders the microangiography inaccurate. There is an unmet need for reliable methods to identify mastectomy skin flap necrosis during or post breast reconstruction procedure in order to improve patient outcomes. Recently in animal models of burn or ischemic injuries, ICG dye was shown to preferentially bind to exposed phospholipids in the membranes of necrotic cells, thus acting as a biomarker for necrotic tissue, when imaged a day after injection rather than minutes after injection, as is standard for microangiographic use of ICG. This necrosis-avid property of ICG has broad translational potential for clinical use in a variety of disease processes that result in necrosis. However, no clinical application of the necrosis-avid property of ICG has been reported yet. In this study, the investigator will test the feasibility of combining the necrosis-avid property of ICG and the SPY imaging system at University of Wisconsin hospital to obtain delayed imaging of ICG fluorescence for direct necrosis detection in breast reconstruction in mastectomy patients. This project is an early feasibility study to establish whether ICG imaging, in a delayed fashion, can be used in mastectomy patients to aid in the detection of necrotic tissue in breast reconstruction wounds. Investigators will use the preliminary data generated from this pilot study to generate hypotheses and to power future studies.
This trial is to compare clinical outcomes between patients undergoing immediate endoscopic necrosectomy compared to step-up endoscopic interventions in patients undergoing endoscopic therapy for infected necrotizing pancreatitis.
This study is to assess the clinical efficacy of epidural injections with Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha(TNF-α) Inhibitor in patients with chronic radicular pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.
The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled double-blind study is to evaluate the effectiveness of biodentine compared with MTA used as pulp space barrier on discoloration of teeth after regenerative based non-obturation root canal treatment in mature single canal with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis.
The researchers are testing adalimumab, a treatment which blocks tumor necrosis factor (TNF), to see if it changes levels of urine biomarker levels (TIMP1 and MCP1). The outcomes may help develop individualized treatment options for future patients with TNF driven Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or minimal change disease (MCD).
This is a prospective, multicenter clinical study designed to facilitate the collection and evaluation of workflow efficiency, patient pain and function, and adverse event data. This clinical study will include Persona, NexGen, and Vanguard product families using the ROSA Total Knee Robotic System or conventional instrumentation. The primary objective of this study is to collect and compare clinical and surgical data using the commercially available ROSA Total Knee robotic instrumentation and conventional instrumentation.
This is single institution cases series review of histological and clinical data
